GWO11: KIM JANSSEN

For those of you who didn’t know that Kim Janssen is not only a bandmember of The Black Atlantic, but also a singersongwriter; you should’ve known better. Janssen played two covers at the Onder Invloed stage of Into The Great Wide Open in September. I can’t help but focus on the music whenever I press the play button on the video. No matter what’s going on around me. Play it and see how it makes you feel.
